Nicklaus and playing partner Tom Watson successfully defended their Champions Skins Game title on Sunday, earning seven skins and $310,000 in the alternate-shot tournament. Mark O'Meara and Bernhard Langer finished second with $300,000 on seven skins.

Nicklaus announced this year's British Open at St. Andrews will be his last competitive golf event. "From a tournament standpoint that will be it for me," Nicklaus told the Associated Press. "I will play a few skins games and father-sons, but from any kind of tournament involvement, that's it."

Nicklaus finished tied for 11th with a 54-hole score of 206 and a final-round 6-under-par 66 at the MasterCard Championship at the Hualalai Golf Club on the Champions Tour. While Nicklaus says he is feeling great: "I think that would be way too far to talk about the Masters," he told the Honolulu Advertiser.
